The main rating agencies (Fitch Ratings, Moody's and Standard & Poor's) maintained the investment grade of Uruguayan debt and their favorable view of the country, reflecting the confidence generated by the country's institutional framework and the economic policy in place. Uruguay has a comprehensive legal framework that provides the broadest guarantees and clear rules, in addition to granting attractive incentives to investors. In particular, the Investment Promotion and Protection Act 16,906 passed in 1998 provides for an attractive scheme for investment in Uruguay. Foreign investment receives by law the same treatment as domestic investment. Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) has reached record levels, allowing Uruguay to rank among the first recipients of FDI in South America (5.3% of GDP) in the last decade. Uruguay is the quintessential regional hub for the Southern Cone and offers significant advantages for the location of Regional Distribution Centers (RDC). Uruguay has a privileged geographical location, with two ports at the main gateway to the South Atlantic coast, which allow access to the Paraná-Paraguay-Uruguay waterway. It is possible to reach the wealthiest cities of the continent over a period ranging from 12 to 96 hours by land and between one and three hours by air. Uruguay’s regulatory framework offers important advantages for logistics operations, with significant incentives for the installation of RDCs and the handling of goods in transit. This includes Free Zone, Free Ports and Airports, Customs Warehousing and Temporary Admission schemes. Uruguay has an adequate infrastructure, a modern airport and the most dense road transport network in Latin America. Its ports, with cutting-edge infrastructure, are the only ports in the South Atlantic coast operating under the Free Port system. The logistics sector has its own institutional structure in Uruguay. In 2010, the National Institute of Logistics (INALOG in Spanish) was created by law, functioning as a space for public-private participation and coordination for the development of the sector. 3 [email protected] | www.uruguayxxi.gub.uy | @UruguayXXI Logistics Sector Report The expansion of globalization and the growing internationalization of economies resulted in a significant development of opportunities in the logistics sector worldwide. Indeed, access to new markets, and adequate and timely access even more so, entails significant costs to companies, thus reducing costs and improving the quality of response have become key differentials for the competitiveness of countries and companies. In this context, the logistics sector in Uruguay has been one of the most dynamic sectors in recent years, being a pioneer in the incorporation of new technologies, the application of potential offered by the Internet and an important support to industrial activity, through just- in-time logistics. According to available estimations, the logistics sector accounts for between 4% and 5% of Uruguay's GDP1. This, along with its importance for the development of international trade and as support for industrial activity, shows the strategic nature and great economic potential of this sector. In Uruguay, the sector encompasses several activities developed at ports, airports, road networks, specialized logistics companies, located strategically or within logistics parks. Logistics and administrative services include2: Traditional logistics services: Includes transport and necessary transfers from ports and airports in the region, reception and control, storage and preparation of orders for shipment to final destination. Logistic value-added services or semi-industrial activities: Packaging, repackaging, mixing of chemicals and other facilities are incorporated, with delivery adapted to the needs of end customers ("customization") or requirements (standards) of the countries of destination. Supply chain logistics coordination services: Customer's operations with logistics suppliers are coordinated, with emphasis on the coordination among production plants abroad, shipping lines, cargo agents,

Uruguay: advantages as a logistics hub Uruguay’s success as a regional logistics hub stems from its strategic geographic location, modern regulatory system and strong economy. With an area of approximately 176,000 km2 and a population of 3.4 million, Uruguay is located on South America’s Atlantic coast, bordering Brazil to the northeast and Argentina to the west. A strategic location in Mercosur and in South America’s southern cone enables Uruguay to be a natural logistics hub that offers an integrated and complementary platform to the regional network with access to a market of over 250 million people. Uruguay has a highly attractive legal and tax framework, including Free Zones, Free Ports, Free Airports and Customs Warehouses aimed at improving corporate supply chains while offering an optimal structure for the establishment of regional distribution centers.

Country and sector issues General Economic Context Between 1999 and 2001 Uruguay endured a prolonged economic recession that ended in a deep crisis in 2002.

As a result, income inequality and unemployment rose (the latter increased from 11.4 percent in 1999 to 19.7. percent in late 2002), and the fiscal situation deteriorated (fiscal deficit increased from 1 percent of GDP in the 1990s to 4 percent in 2001). 1 Furthermore, a sharp devaluation of the peso in 2002 worsened public debt indicators because a large share of both domestic and foreign debt was held in dollars.

Key development issues and rationale for Bank involvement Public Disclosure Authorized Background Uruguay’s historically high level of economic and social development relative to the region, was further improved in the 1990’s due to a stint of steady economic growth during that period, where the average annual growth rate between 1990 and 1998 reached 3.6%. Many Millennium Development Goals had been attained or seemed attainable, and the Bank even envisioned the possibility of gradual disengagement. However, Uruguay entered into a severe economic recession which was compounded by several external shocks; Argentine crisis (2002), Foot and Mouth disease outbreak (2001), Brazilian devaluation (1999), and weak commodity prices and oil price increases.
